While the typical French manicure has become somewhat of a beauty faux paus, it seems as if Jennifer Lopez is taking it out for a new spin. The actress and singer stepped out in New York last night sporting a manicure that closely resembled an upside-down French. Her blushy nude-colored polish was accentuated with a bold ivory line across the bottom of her nails, a palette similar to the one worn by Busy Philipps at the Art of Elysium gala. But unlike in the half-moon manicure Busy donned, the line seemed to follow the natural curve of the base of Jennifer's nail.

Thinking about trying this reverse French manicure out for yourself? Just follow the same steps you'd take for a normal one. Paint your nails in a nude color, like Deborah Lippmann Nail Lacquer in Naked ($16). Allow it to dry, and then swipe a white line onto the bottoms of your nails. It's the perfect blend of classic and edgy.
